Staff Lawyer - Homelessness

Anna Cooper

Pronouns: she/her/hers

— Anna was driven to law school by her desire to address inequality in a systemic way. Early experiences volunteering in the Downtown Eastside and with the Elizabeth Fry Society taught her about the gross inequalities in Canadian society and our continued criminalization of race and poverty.

She graduated from law school in 2013 and went on to practice in criminal defence and mental health law prior to joining Pivot in August of 2017. Anna is committed to using the law as a tool to protect and advance the dignity of all people.

Pivot Legal Society is located on stolen lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. We are grateful to Indigenous Peoples for their continuous relationship with their lands and are committed to learning to work in solidarity as accomplices in shifting the colonial default.
